It’s not even November yet, but Britney Spears is feeling thankful.
“#FreeBritney movement … I have no words … because of you guys and your constant resilience in freeing me from my conservatorship … my life is now in that direction !!!!!” she wrote on Monday, against a short video that may look familiar, but is particular in its variation: Britney looking straight at the camera posing in a loop. Sometimes she wears a red cropped peasant top and denim shorts, sometimes she wears a yellow or printed cropped peasant top. In this video, the top is white and the soundtrack is Kanye West’s “Fade.”
“I cried last night for two hours cause my fans are the best and I know it,” she added. “I feel your hearts and you feel mine … that much I know is true !!!!!”
Spears was vacationing in French Polynesia when the Los Angeles Superior Court officially ruled on Wednesday in favor of what fans, her lawyer Mathew Rosengart, and Spears were fighting for—that is, suspending her father, Jamie Spears, from her conservatorship. He no longer has final say over his daughter’s financials.
The thank-you went over well among commenters who numbered in the thousands, and included fellow famous faces like the sisters Cyrus, Vera Wang, and Carole Radziwill. (The #FreeBritney movement was no doubt influential in garnering attention and putting the pressure on the court, and many of its members give credit too, to the closer, Rosengart who, per the Los Angeles Magazine, has been nicknamed “Rosengod.” Between Spears and Rosengart, the fandom now has their queen and their daddy too.)
Perhaps as a show of reciprocity, she put a “predicament” to the fans in a subsequent post: Where should she and fiancé Sam Asghari marry? They can’t decide, she admitted, whether to marry in Italy, Greece, Australia, or New York City. Asghari commented with a ream of American flag emojis, but you too can sound off in the comments.
